Cleaning Cartridges

Dell PowerVault DDS Cleaning cartridges have a lifespan of up to 50 cleans.

Regularly cleaning DDS/DAT drives help in long-term reliability and should be conducted in scheduled cycles and when requested by the drive. The recommended cleaning interval for the drive is 50 tape motion hours, which is indicated by the solid LED.
